The ‘leave us all in peace’ tendency

Christopher Jackson’s article about the futility of prohibitionist policies that John pointed to last Tuesday has certainly struck a chord.

Check out the comments that have appeared on the Independent’s site. Some are priceless, such as “hedonism is on our make up”.

It makes you wonder: if some politician had the nous and the balls to tap into the ‘for heaven’s sake leave alone for once will you?’ tendency, he might be onto a winner.

I'm sure that, if they thought there was a few votes in it, there's a few who would, if you suggested it to them.
